Renown soccer journalist Grant Wahl (SI, Fox Sports, SiriusXM, Crown) joins the DiploSport Podcast to discuss his fascinating career path - growing up in Kansas City, going to Princeton, and visiting Argentina before ending up at SI and becoming one of the world's most respected voices on soccer.

The conversation also touches on his run for the FIFA presidency and the politics (and crime and punishment) surrounding global soccer.
